Job Description

Shakey's is a well-established restaurant chain known for its delicious pizzas, chicken, and unique Mojo's. The company has built a strong reputation for providing a fun, family-friendly dining experience that combines great food with excellent customer service. With a focus on quality and consistency, Shakey's continues to thrive in the competitive food service industry by maintaining its classic recipes and welcoming atmosphere. As a prominent player in the casual dining restaurant sector, Shakey's offers a variety of roles that emphasize teamwork, skill development, and career advancement opportunities.

The Back-of-House (BOH) team at Shakey's plays a vital role in bringing the brand's dining experience to life. Working behind the scenes, BOH team members are responsible for preparing fresh dough daily, cooking the signature pizzas and other menu items, and ensuring that the kitchen is clean and well-stocked. This role is perfect for individuals who enjoy fast-paced, hands-on work and want to contribute directly to the quality of food served to customers. New hires typically start at a single BOH station such as cooking, dough rolling, or dishwashing but are encouraged to learn and rotate through other stations. This multi-skill approach not only increases proficiency but also opens doors to working additional hours and advancing toward store management positions. This job is entry-level, offering a starting wage of $16.50 per hour, making it an attractive opportunity for those seeking steady employment with room for growth.

Beyond the immediate responsibilities, working in the Back-of-House at Shakey's gives team members valuable experience in food safety, sanitation, and operational efficiency in a restaurant environment. Employees gain hands-on practice in managing supplies, maintaining clean workspaces, and collaborating with peers both in the kitchen and front-of-house. This role requires a commitment to following Shakey's food handling guidelines and attention to detail to ensure every dish meets quality standards. Shakey's places a strong emphasis on training and development, so team members receive proper onboarding and ongoing support to succeed in their roles.

Joining Shakey's as a BOH team member means becoming part of a dynamic restaurant team dedicated to delivering exceptional dining experiences. Teamwork is a central value, and employees often support each other across various stations to keep operations running smoothly. Whether you are interested in gaining culinary skills, customer service insights, or exploring restaurant management, starting in the BOH is an excellent stepping stone. By fostering a positive work environment and offering clear paths for advancement, Shakey's ensures that team members feel valued and motivated to grow their careers within the company.
